For me, it's Wicked.

I generally like musicals, and I watched both the movie and the musical (w/ my SO, who loved it), and neither clicked for me. I felt the musical fell apart in the second half (I didn't like the ending at all), and according to my SO, most of my complaints are where it deviated from the book. The movie was a bit better (and I'll probably watch the second one, just to compare), but I still felt it was a bit generic. It goes way too hard on DEI concepts (skin color), and the characters seemed a bit shallow. I hope the second movie draws more from the book than the musical. It wasn't "bad," it was just pretty mid for me, not the knockout experience it was claimed to be.

The music was pretty good though, I'll give it that.

Oppenheimer Barbie Place Beyond the Pines

Didn't get the hype for any of them at all. Oppenheimer was just fucking stupid and entirely too long for no reason, plus the Florence pugh scene where shes just sitting with her tits out for no reason was just wildly out of place

Barbie was just generic trash, and everyone knew or should have known it was a money grab. I dont think it was feminist at all, it was basically Marvel but for girls, and I generally think most marvel movies are bad

Place beyond the pines was just boring. And the plot was horrid.

Im a 40yo man and the Barbie movie didnt seem like a cash grab to me purely because Barbie has been a commercial property its entire life. There was a germ of love and creativity at its inception but its been decades of it being sold that the movie, if anything felt overdue.

It was Marvel for women, it was a big budget flashy stupid movie (marvel) for women. It was definitely a good moment for feminists because they put big cash behind a movie that was almost repellent to men. They had to finance a movie based on the assumption that 50% of people would object to seeing it strongly.

As a guy I like to say "It was great for a movie that I didnt like." It was well executed, fun, set design, practical effects and all were fantastic. But absolutely not meant for me and thats ok.

Saving Private Ryan for me. And I fucking love the genre and the actors.
